Grand Queenslander on a secluded inner-city 810m2

Sitting on the verandah of this magnificent Federation Queenslander, the tranquil surrounds make it impossible to believe you are just 2km from Brisbane’s CBD.

Set on private, beautifully landscaped grounds, the original residence dates back more than a century, but has been sympathetically renovated to create a spacious and functional family floorplan.

Grand and authentic, the interior is characterised by its soaring ceilings, wide plank floorboards and ornate timber work. Meanwhile, the home’s stunning redesign incorporates elements of contemporary luxury throughout.

A series of flowing formal and relaxed living spaces across the upper level converge on a breezy full-width entertaining deck. Overlooking the rear lawns and palm-fringed swimming pool, these indoor-outdoor areas have, over the years, played host to both glamourous large-scale events and intimate Sunday barbeques.

The perfectly positioned and configured kitchen features a granite breakfast bar, servery window out to the deck and European appliances including 900mm oven, 6 burner gas cooktop and dishwasher.

Two bedrooms including the superb master with ensuite and walk-in robe also reside on the upper level, while the ground floor has been transformed into the ultimate children or guest’s retreat. Featuring a large lounge area with access into the yard, three further built-in bedrooms, a bathroom and separate home entry, the space also presents an outstanding dual-living opportunity.

Additional highlights of the fully-fenced property include reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans, gas fireplace in the main living area, climate-controlled wine cellar, back-to-base alarm, abundant storage, irrigation system, integrated double carport plus additional parking for multiple cars or a boat behind driveway gates.

Promising the best of both inner-city convenience and suburban peace, this exclusive address is just a short walk to the Stanley Street shops, cafes and Coles supermarket, as well as the GABBA Cricket Ground and eclectic boutiques and restaurants of Logan Road. With bus transport at the end of the street and bikeways on the doorstep, it is also moments from the Pacific Highway, a choice of elite private schools, universities, major hospitals and the Southbank cultural precinct.

We invite you to experience this historic home’s timeless elegance and modern lifestyle appeal.
